Conference call and webcast today at 5:15 p.m. ET

NORTHBROOK, Ill., May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarus Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (Clarus) (NASDAQ:CRXT), a pharmaceutical company dedicated to providing solutions to unmet medical needs by advancing androgen and metabolic therapies for men and women, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2022.

"We delivered a strong first quarter, as the total number of prescriptions written for JATENZO continued to increase," said Dr. Robert Dudley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Clarus. "With the closing of our recent upsized $30 million underwritten public offering, we intend to continue our strategic marketing initiatives designed to increase awareness about JATENZO and fuel its further growth. We are excited about additional patent coverage for JATENZO and new patent coverage for CLAR-121, as we recently received a notice of allowance for each. We also applied for Orphan Drug Designation for CLAR-121. Our focus remains on driving long-term stockholder value as we accomplish our business objectives. We thank our employees for their commitment to excellence and our stockholders for their loyalty during these extraordinary times."

Recent Business Highlights

  • Increased total prescriptions for JATENZO in the first quarter of 2022 sequentially and year over year by 12% and 75%, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2021, driven primarily by advertising and promotion and an increase in payer coverage across all payer channels    
  • Presented new data for JATENZO at the Androgen Society 4th Annual Meeting and at the 2022 American Urological Association Annual Meeting
  • Received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for patent claims covering JATENZO; once issued, this will be the eighth patent for JATENZO to be listed in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Orange Book
  • Received a notice of allowance from the USPTO for patent claims covering CLAR-121, a proprietary combination of testosterone and anastrozole delivered by a subcutaneous implant for the treatment of androgen receptor-mediated inflammatory breast disease that predominantly affects women
  • Applied for Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for CLAR-121 for the treatment of inflammatory periductal mastitis (PDM) for women
  • Announced pricing and closing of an upsized $30 million underwritten public offering, extending cash runway into approximately September 2022
  • Continued to explore strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value

First Quarter 2022 Highlights

First quarter 2022 net revenue increased 72% to $4.0 million from $2.3 million in the same period last year, related to the continued growth in sales of JATENZO.

Gross margin was 83% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 84% for the prior year period.

First quarter 2022 operating expenses increased by 33% to $16.9 million from $12.8 million in the same period last year, primarily attributed to an increase in sales and marketing activity associated with the promotion of JATENZO and increases in general and administrative expenses associated with increased headcount, partially offset by decreased research and development expenses.

Included in total operating expenses for first quarter 2022 was an increase in sales and marketing expenses of 35% to $10.7 million from $7.9 million in the same period last year, primarily attributed to advertising and promotional spend associated with JATENZO.

Also included in total operating expenses for first quarter 2022 was an increase in general and administrative expenses of 47% to $5.3 million from $3.6 million in the same period last year, primarily attributed to an increase in personnel costs associated with a growing business and expenses associated with being a public company.

Total operating expenses for first quarter 2022 also reflect a decrease in research and development expenses of 27% to $0.9 million from $1.2 million in the same period last year, primarily attributed to the timing of clinical costs associated with our lead commercial asset.

First quarter 2022 net loss was $14.9 million, or $0.61 per common share, compared to net loss of $15.4 million, or $0.00 per common share, in the same period last year.
